Crumb, Robert

Big Ass Comics No. 2

San Francisco, CA: Rip Off Press, August 1971. First Printing. Stapled Wrappers. The second & last number of Robert Crumb's notorious unleashing of his feverish fantasies in which "Little Guys Fight it Out with Big Women!" as declared above title on front cover. With "Eggs Ackley in Eggs Escapes" (from entanglements with the bird-headed stout-bodied Demonesses, that is); "A Gurl" & other unforgettably uninhibited episodes. There is even "A Word to you Feminist Women" in which Crumb defiantly responds to accusations of chauvinism that this series provoked. This is the first printing of August 1971, as indicated by glossy covers & there being no copyright reference on bottom of inner front cover, according to the latest Comix Talmud authorities. An essential Crumb collectible along with Big Ass No. 1, in its rarest form. For adult aficionados.
